Description
Velmette is a plain shaggy rug in olive, a soft mid green in which lighter strands catch the light and give the surface a gentle shimmer. With no pattern, the colour carries the look, and the pile is deep and soft, giving generously under bare feet. The rug is hand tufted in 100% polyester, and the pile looks dense and even. We offer it in five sizes: 90 by 150cm, 110 by 160cm, 140 by 200cm, 160 by 230cm and 200 by 290cm.
The maker designed this rug for living rooms and bedrooms, and the sizes suit both. The 90 by 150cm fits beside a bed, where your feet land first in the morning, or in front of an armchair. The 110 by 160cm sits well at the foot of a bed or in a small sitting room. At 140 by 200cm it takes a coffee table, while the 160 by 230cm fits under the front legs of a sofa and its chairs. The 200 by 290cm can hold a whole seating group, or lie beneath a double bed. Olive is a calm, easy green: it sits comfortably with wood, linen and warm neutrals, and the shaggy pile brings warmth to a hard floor.
The rug is 3cm thick, so check the clearance under any door that opens across it. The maker's care is dry: vacuum it regularly with a floor tool attachment or brush the pile gently, and use a dry shampoo if it needs a clean. Anything more goes to a specialist cleaner, and the rug should be kept dry. When it arrives, reverse roll it and leave it flat for 24 hours so it settles, then a good shake lifts the pile again. On a smooth floor, an underlay helps keep it in place. Measure your space with the furniture in position before you order.

Frequently Asked
Is this olive shaggy rug made of wool?
No. It is 100% polyester, a synthetic yarn the maker chose because it wears well and stays soft and comfortable underfoot.
Can I put this rug in a bathroom?
We would keep it to dry rooms such as a living room or bedroom, because the maker's care asks for the rug to be kept away from moisture, which rules out a bathroom.
Why does a new shaggy rug need reverse rolling?
Rugs travel rolled, and the pile and backing can hold that curl for a while. Rolling it the other way and leaving it flat for 24 hours helps it lie properly on the floor.
How do I keep the shaggy pile looking full?
Give the rug a good shake from time to time to lift and refresh the strands, and brush gently by hand wherever the pile has flattened, such as the spots you walk across most.
